Google chrome is far more insecure than Firefox, and Firefox is actually one of the most secure browsers there is. IE is popular so people go after that one but it's still fairly secure, google chromes insecurity was just due to it's development.
The only good thing about chrome security is the fact that they use each tab as a new process so that when one tab freezes the whole web browser doesn't freeze. This also isolates any malicious sites that you have open to a single tab. But the other insecurities in chrome don't suffice for being better than Firefox
There's far more password stealers for Mozilla Firefox that I've seen then there are for Google Chrome, take this for an example:
Quite a while ago I used to be a 'hacker' so to speak and I used to infect anyone that I could (not anymore by the way), so I set up iStealer on my own server to grab passwords, so to test my server, I tested it on myself. I went to look at the logs and there was 5 pages full of mine and my mothers passwords (50 logs per page). I was browsing through them for the fun of it, and everyone was either Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, I didn't have a single log from Google Chrome.
Sorry if I offended you by saying that I prefer Google Chrome, but I do, It's just a preference, I will add that I do like Mozilla, it's just the a prefer Chrome, that's all.
